The last time I tried this was a disaster. I wasn't on the Atkins diet. Just made poor food choices the few days before and the morning of the century. And to compound the problem I wasn't drinking enough water.
I ate and drank and refilled my water bottles at each rest stop, but still bonked at about 70 miles.

Carbs and water are the two things your body needs for long extended periods in the saddle.
